Freedom from Law by Christ’s Redemption. 1 John 1. 7

1 Does conscience lay a guilty charge,
  And Moses much condemn,
  And bring in bills exceeding large?
  Let Jesus answer them.

2 He paid thy ransom with his hand,
  And every score did quit;
  And Moses never can demand
  Two payments of one debt.

3 Now justice smiles on mercy sweet,
  And looks well reconciled;
  Joined hand in hand, they go to meet
  And kiss a weeping child.

4 But ask the Lord for his receipt,
  To show the payment good,
  Delivered from the mercy-seat,
  And sprinkled with his blood.

5 The law thy feet will not enlarge,
  Nor give thy conscience rest,
  Till thou canst find a full discharge
  Locked up within thy breast.

6 [The sight of this will melt thy heart,
  And make thy eyes run o’er.
  A happy, pardoned child thou art,
  And heaven is at thy door.]
